SKYWARD TREND OF THOUGHT IN NEW YORK 
MUNICIPAL OFFICE BUILDING AND RAILROAD TERMINAL NEAR THE CITY HALL 


The vastness of the business of the Corporation of the City of New York and the volume of traffic at 
this vortex of the city’s life gave birth to a design of a great 45-story structure, 650 feet high, planned by 
former Bridge Commissioner Gustav Lindenthal and Architects Henry F. Hornbostel and George B. Post. 
Besides furnishing 400,000 square feet of office room for the city departments, the structure would have at PRA topes SS 
its base a five-decked railroad station, with the subway in the basement, Metropolitan surface cars on the 1 GUS TAYOEENI -EN THAL 
street level, ten loops for Brooklyn surface cars onthe second story, Manhattan “‘ L ”’ station third story, and ’ q ARCHITECT i258 
Brooklyn *‘L’? station in the fourth story. Cost, estimated, $10,000,000, It is, as yet, merely an idea. 

But already the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. is preparing plans for a similar tower 560 feet high.

NEW YORK CITY--THE NEW WORLD CENTRE 


By WILLIAM WIRT MILLS, Joumalist 


EW YORK CITY, in the second half of the first decade 
of the Twentieth Century, is pressing London for pre- 
eminence among the cities of the world. Second only to 

the British Capital in population and financial power, the Ameri- 
can Metropolis is concededly first in many essentials of greatness. 

It is in dimensions of the first magnitude that the story of 
New York’s potency must be told. Bigness is the word that 
characterizes the city that has outstripped all but one of its older 
rivals and that seems destined, ere the century is quarter spent, 
to be established firmly as the undisputed centre of the manifold 
powers and activities of the whole world. 

The 250th anniversary of the chartering of New York City 
was in 1903, although it was settled in 1623. The whole of the 
Island bounded by the North, East and Harlem rivers, bought for 
about $24, is now valued at many billions. It was first called New 
Amsterdam, later New York, then New Orange, and finally New 
York. At first it was a fur-trading post, on the lower point of 
the Island now called “ The Borough of Manhattan,” being one 
of the five boroughs comprised in Greater New York as incorpo- 
rated in 1898. The little point used by the fur traders is now 
the most valuable real estate section in the world. Some idea of 


the way it has been built up can be seen in the views on pages » 


2 and 10. A 32-story building is erected and a 45-story struc- 
ture, with a 650-foot tower, was seriously suggested for City 
Hall—a marvelous contrast with the quaint little Dutch houses of 
the fur-trader’s settlement. 

As the passing months round out the last of the three hun- 
dred years since first the eye of white man rested upon the Island 
of Manhattan, London, with nearly seven times as many years 
filled up with its history, is barely leading in the race, while New 
York is striding on to set a new pace for the world. 

This city covers 326.9 square miles, an area a little greater 
than the combined extent of Chicago and Philadelphia, while 
London occupies 116.9 square miles, 

In population, New York, with 4,014,304 inhabitants in 
1905, is exceeded only by London, with 4,613,812 in 1903, 
and statisticians of the N. Y. Board of Trade and Transporta- 
tion estimate that by 1925 this city will contain 6,760,000 souls. 
Its inhabitants now are more than half the total number in the 
Empire State, and only three States— Illinois, Ohio and Pennsyl- 
vania—contain more people. The population of New York is 
50 per cent. larger than that of Panis, twice that of Berlin, and 
greater than the combined figures for Chicago, Philadelphia and 
St. Louis. It has doubled in 21 years; its annual rate of in- 
crease is 2.5 per cent. 

The financial strength of London and New York cannot be 
expressed in terms that permit of an intelligent comparison, but it 
is significant of the relative resources of the two great money- 
centres that they divided equally the four Japanese war-loans, 
amounting to $410,000,000. 

New York’s 206 banks and trust companies in July, 1905, 
had resources aggregating $4,268,188,482; the 42 life-insurance 
companies supervised by the State, $2,454,669,487; the 38 
fidelity and casualty companies, $70,476,877; the 39 fire- 
insurance companies, $106,633,670. 

The aggregate deposits in the 53 banks in the Clearing 
House Association average $1,159,000,000; in the 58 non- 
member banks, $231,000,000; in the 51 savings banks, 
$918,000,000; in the 44 trust companies, $871,000,000—a 
total of $3,179,000,000. 

On the New York Stock Exchange from January Ist to 
June 30th, 1905, 137,967,403 shares and $583,297,700 worth 
of bonds were sold. The quarterly dividend disbursements in 
this city on July Ist amounted to $150,000,000. 

Most of the important industrial corporations of the world 
have either their executive offices or important agencies in New 
York. - Of the great American corporations, the business of 173 
concerns, with an aggregate capital of $7,000,000,000, centres 
in this city, besides multitudes of smaller corporate bodies and 

individual manufacturers, and the aggregate wealth of all this in- 
terwoven financial and industrial fabric baffles computation. 

The value of the products of the city’s factories for the year 
ended June 30th, 1905, is estimated at $16,000,000,000, one- 
tenth of the entire output of the country. The city has 48,000 
factories, employing 520,000 wage earners. 

Eleven great railroad systems centre in New York, bringing 
from the interior supplies for the city’s needs and merchandise for 
export, while the inland waterways contribute their quota, and 
through the Narrows pass annually over 21,000 ocean-going 


vessels of 151 lines, which find wharfage facilities along the 353 
miles of the city’s water front. 

The exports of New York in the year ended June 30, 1905, 
were valued at $628,493,866, more than 41 per cent. of the 
entire exports of the United States, and more than the total 
export business of any nation except Great Bnitain, Germany, 
France and the Netherlands. The imports in the same period 
were valued at $700,054,551, nearly 63 per cent. of the total 
for the country. The duties collected at this port in the year 
amounted to $172,547,960. 

The.necessities of its vast business interests are re-creating 
New York physically. Great steel-frame structures, from 18 to 
31 stories are replacing the six and eight-story buildings of two 
decades ago. Already there are 32 skyscrapers over 230 feet 
in height, and the Metropolitan Life’s tower is to be 560 feet. 

From January Ist to June 30th plans were filed for the erec- 
tion of 6,570 new buildings at an estimated cost of $1 19,764,950, 
and for the remodeling of old buildings at a cost of $10,961,280. 

The assessment rolls for 1905 show that the city contains 
taxable realty valued at $5,221,584,301; exempt realty, 
$1,035,899,577 ; taxable personalty, $690,571,926. 

The underground, elevated and surface railroads represent 
an outlay of $230,000,000 and carry nearly 4,000,000 passengers 
a day. New subways to be built within the next decade will 
cost over $150,000,000. ‘The Interborough system (Subway 
and Manhattan “L.”) alone carried an average of 1,018,382 
passengers a day during the first quarter of 1905, and the 
Metropolitan system (the Manhattan surface roads) received 
808,770 fares a day. 

The volume of business transacted in New York is illustrated 
by the receipts of its post offices, which average $58,965 a day. 
For the year ended June 30, 1905, the receipts, including Brook- 
lyn, aggregated $17,690,000, or 12 per cent. of the total income 
of the 72,000 post offices in the United States, giving the depart- 
ment a net profit of $11,500,000. In Manhattan alone there 
are mailed daily 1,716,000 letters, and more than 2,000,000 
pieces of mail are delivered. 937 publications are issued in 
Manhattan, and the quantity of these mailed averages 337,835 
pounds a day. ‘There are 71 post offices, 329 substations. 

Another illustration of the business activity of New York is 
found in its telephone statistics. There are 51 central offices, 
with 8,000 employees and 198,000 ‘phones. The average 
number of calls per day is 1,650,000. 

It requires 14,000,000 tons of coal a year to supply New 
York, about 10,800,000 tons being used to make steam and 
electricity for heating and power. ‘The average quantity of fuel 
on hand in the city yards is 422,000 tons. : 

More big hotels thrive in this city than in any other place in 
the world. Of 344 large hostelries, 51 accommodate over 600 
guests each, and the ten largest are valued at $24,565,000. It 
is estimated that over 100,000 people visit New York in a day, 
besides the 250,000 commuters. : 

In fine restaurants the city is well supplied, some $40,000,000 
being invested in superior eating-houses catering to about 500,000 
diners a day, who spend about $1,200,000 on their dinner. 
These places employ 60,000 people and they take the entire 
output of vegetable gardens covering 90,000 acres. One hotel 
kitchen alone represents an outlay of $130,000. 

New York’s six race-tracks, which divide the season among 
themselves, have an average daily attendance of 12,000, and the 
wagers laid aggregate fully $1,000,000 a day. 

The city has 98 theatres, 12 beaches, 26 picnic groves, 25 
athletic fields, 18 art galleries, 84 notable clubs, over 100 statues 
and monuments. It has 4 colleges, 16 high schools, 496 ele- 
mentary public schools, with 11,273 teachers and 568,232 
pupils, 469 kindergarten classes with 15,311 pupils, and spends 
on its public schools $24,231,850 a year—one-tenth of the cost 
of the public-school system of the country. 

New York's 1,439 churches own property valued at 
$183,972,340. Among some 3,000 charitable organizations 
and institutions are 132 hospitals valued at $14,782,400. 

There are in the city an average of 212 deaths and 270 
births a day, but constant accessions to the population from the 
rest of the country and by immigration make the net increase in 
the city’s inhabitants about 270 a day. 

These are some of the facts that demonstrate the greatness 
of the city pictured in these pages. ‘These huge figures fill out 
in the mind impressions that these pictorial views give of th 
sturdy strength of the new World Centre. iii

NEW YORK — THE METROPOLIS IN WHICH 


Lacking only four years of three hundred since first the eye of civilization looked 
upon the Island of Manhattan, New York, the metropolis of the New World, rising 
grandly upon the tide-swept rocks, looks upon the Old World as well as the New as 

tributary to its enterprise, its financial power and its commercial activities. 

It was as recently as 1609 that Hendrik Hudson sailed into the bay in the 

““Half Moon”’ and discovered Manhattan Island,a sharp point of wooded land on 

which stood a few Indian wigwams. Four years later Adrian Block built the 
first habitation of white men on the site now occupied by Aldrich Court. 

In 1628 Fort Amsterdam, on the site of the new Custom House, was the 


dominant architectural feature of the village. In 1664 it was the Stadt Huys, or

City Hall, with its high peaked roof, in Pearl Street at the head of Coenties Slip, that 
caught the eye of the skipper who visited the trading post for a cargo of furs, for 
in 1653 the settlement had been incorporated as the City of New Amsterdam, 
being changed to New York eleven years later, after the capture of the colony in 
the name of the Duke of York, 

Now the voyager, looking out from the deck of an ocean-liner as he enters 
the port of New York, sees a great city that seems to kiss the clouds, its sky- 
scrapers, clustered on the tapering point of the Island, teeming with more people 
than could be crowded on the ground-space that the buildings occupy. 


This volume pictures the City of New York as it approaches its tercentenary,
